Spicy Tuna Bagel
One of my favourite quick lunches is this tuna dish paired with plenty of fresh kimchi. The Spicy Tuna Bagel is a delicious fusion of classic deli flavours with a modern, spicy twist. It combines the richness of a creamy tuna salad with the heat of chilli flakes or sriracha, all nestled inside a toasted bagel. Perfect for lunch on the go, brunch with friends, or an easy dinner, the Spicy Tuna Bagel is versatile, filling, and a great way to elevate the ordinary tuna sandwich.
The knife I used is from Cabin Knives. This isn’t an ad—I just really love this knife.
